Love is in the air this time of year. The first thing I enjoy doing when celebrating Valentine’s Day is spend time with my first true love, makeup. Pampering myself with romantic Valentine’s day makeup before going on a date with my husband is important to me. My goal when applying my makeup is to enhance my features. However, some women use it to alter their nose, checks forehead and other problematic areas on their face and chest.
Let’s begin by saying, dolling myself up every day makes me feel self-assured and put-together. For me, it changes my mood in a positive way and makes me feel like I can concur the world. Everyday I use natural earthy palette tones. My favorite are brown, yellow and cream tones. However, during the holidays like on Valentine’s Day, I tend to go more bold like deep gray or maroon tones for my eyes and maroon or deep pink for my lips.
Reasons I Love Wearing Makeup:
There are so many reasons why I love wearing make. For starters, I love that it starts a conversation that brings women together. For instance, I’ve bonded with so many women over great makeup recommendations and makeup tutorial tips. I also really like that it is fun and the options of creating looks are endless—depending the mood I’m in.
Beautiful makeup and skincare packaging instantly gives me an instant rush. That’s exactly how Pixi Beauty makeup and skincare collection makes me feel. They offer stunning shades, textures and scents. Their eyeshadow and blush palette has incredible pigmentation, glides on perfectly and stays on all day. Pixi Beauty lipsticks compliment my lips and gives me the perfect flush on my lips. Their skincare products feels so therapeutic and nourishes my skin.
I’ve rounded up 5 looks from celebrities to inspire your romantic Valentine’s day makeup.
The major tip I can give you when applying makeup, especially for Valentine’s Day is to not over-think it. Just keep in mind if you decide to wear bold lipstick, use light eyeshadow palette. Or if you decide to wear bold eyeshadow palette use lighter lipstick or lipgloss. As you can see in the pictures below, the celebrities on the red carpet tend to follow this rule.
What rule do you tend to follow when applying your makeup?
I tend to go the more natural look. I’m not very good at applying makeup!
Watching YouTube tutorials helped me a lot.
I love the playful romantic feel of light colors with red lipstick. That is for sure one of my favorite looks!
Red lipstick does look beautiful on most women.
How pretty! I am not the best with makeup, but my daughter likes to wear it. I’ve always liked the Pixi brand.
Thank you Amber. Teenagers like experimenting with makeup too. 🙂
I don’t wear a lot of makeup but do like wearing it on special occasions. Thanks for sharing all of those great products.
You’re welcome, Bonnie.
I usually go for more neutral tones, but it is fun to add a few bright pops of color for Valentine’s Day. I did put on a brighter pink lipstick today to celebrate.
I’m the same way, Theresa. On Valentines day I used my red lipstick from Pixi Beauty. 🙂
I like the “no make up” make up look, so I am more inclined to use nude shades for both lip color and eye shadow. I wish I know how to apply make up better. I guess it just takes practice.
I also like the natural look too, Kristine. I agree it takes practice and patience.
I love the make up looks! The golden lipstick color is stunning.
I agree with you, Chad. 🙂
While I am not a make up wearer, my nieces love the fact that as a blogger, I find articles like yours to share with them, and when I get samples, then I am the best uncle ever!
Thank you Mitch. Glad to hear you will be sharing it with your nieces. 🙂
I don’t wear make-up and I don’t even know how to apply make-up on my face. LOL. I do wear lipstick and love trying on different shades. 🙂
I cannot live without lipstick, lipgloss or lip balm because my lips are so dry. 🙂
I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, but even when I do it is minimal and all on the eyes. Eye liner, mascara, and eye shadow are about all I do. I would love to branch out and learn more, though.
I learn a lot from YouTube tutorials. 🙂
Lately I tend to find an image that I want to mimic and then start to play. It’s a lot of fun. I live for a good lip balm though, that is something I can not go without!
I know what you mean. I love wearing lip balm around the house and at night to keep my lips moist.
I really like your tip to balance bold makeup in one area with a more subtle look.
Thank you!
I do not really wear make up because I do not go out. But when I do, I love the natural look.
I totally love the natural look too, Ruth 🙂
I can see why you love to wear makeup, I do also. It is nice to doll up and change up looks xx
I totally agree with you, Melanie. 🙂
I love make-up but find myself wearing the same looks over and over. This post inspires me to change it up!
Glad to hear this post inspires you to try new looks. 🙂
I always go for the more natural look, but I do enjoy some red lips during celebrations such as Valentine’s day
I hear you, Monica.
The bottom right is my favorite! So pretty on her!
The makeup is very beautiful on her.
I think makeup is magical because when applied with skill and artistry, it can make anyone look fabulous. I don’t wear it much because I’m not skilled at it but I wear lip colors and eye pencil daily. That is it for me.
I’ve seen you with makeup and it looks so beautiful on you Elizabeth.
